Middle of March

Our last day in Aston Marina can not believe its the middle of March and the weather is horrid! We had a fantastic month in Thailand did so much Elephant Safari, Canoeing. Snorkling as well as eating wonderful Thai food.
So we have friends coming on board today and next week so will stay around Stone the head off south towards Fradley Junction for Easter.
Big Thank You to all friends we have made whilst at Aston and help they have given us. See some of you in November,have a great Summer.

End of Jan

Well I am writing this out on The Cut its very windy but it is lovely to be out of the Marina. We are packed -nearly- and ready for our holiday. We came out to have a drink at the Swan with all friends at the Marina as some are off on hols like us, and some will have gone from the Marina by the time we get back.. Our good Mate Mick is off to Aussie on Sunday for 8 weeks so may not see him untill we are travelling. Its been FAB gettting to know so many lovely people. Baz has a free Bus Pass so just popped into Stafford for some bits.
Back to the Marina tonight as long as not too windy!

A Cold week

Another week nearer our Holiday! Went into Stafford Tues and brought our Rail tickets to Heathrow £33 return for both of us. With our Senior Rail Card - Bargain.   Staff at Stafford station  are just great, better than any computer. New glasses (buy one and get one free) ordered from Spec Save. Walked into Stone today for a hair cut, snow still on the towpath and all looks very pretty but abit slippy underfoot.Warmer weather for the weekend.

First post

This is my 1st effort to BLOG you all!!!!!
What a day. Seemed like a normal one, oh so wrong. Baz went off to get a new water pump as we had a slight leek and going off to Thailand next month we did not want any problems.
So off the boys went to the Chandlers and came back with a new pump. It was not as straight forward as we hoped, but with the help of Mick all working well nb Parisien Star  Elly is teaching me to Blog! So grateful to them both. What would we do without wonderful helpful boaters. 
So dinner for 4 tonight and a few cans of Fosters.
